For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and
sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible
qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse
for not knowing God. Romans 1:20 NLT
"First, then, let us, as rational creatures, be ever ready to acknowledge
God as our Creator and daily Preserver; and that we are each of us
individually dependent on his special care and good will towards us, in
supporting the wonderful action of nature which constitutes our
existence.... . Let us also, knowing our entire dependence on Divine
Benevolence, as rational creatures, do ourselves the honor to express
personally and frequently, our thanks to Him for His goodness; and to
present our petitions to Him for the favors which we constantly
require."
Rufus Porter, Editor, Scientific American 1st issue, Aug. 28, 1845
